"I know !"
Henriette let out a belly laugh.

@VersaillesFiore Henriette giggled and pressed several kisses all over his face.
"Is it me or you got handsomer in my absence ?"

Stands behind @RoyalLiselotte and covers her eyes from behind.
"Guess who?" Henriette whispered.

@RoyalLiselotte Henriette beamed and brushed her fingers over the luxurious fabric. It felt like butter under her digits.
"Your wishes are my command ! How about we host together a séance ?" She offered with a conspiratory glance to her friend.
"If we join our minds, we can host the best >

@RoyalLiselotte "Lovely." Henriette said with a bright smile.
Brush accepted, she started carefully brushing Liselotte's bouncy golden tresses from the ends and moving upwards, making sure not to tug. Wrapped in her task, Henriette started to hum to herself.

@RoyalLiselotte "Ma chérie."

@Anna_Maria1669 "Come, follow me." They step out to her ante chambers where the dresses were set up, waiting for the girls.
"Are you excited over your betrothal?"

[𝑀𝑎𝑑𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝐷𝑢𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒 𝑑'𝑂𝑟𝑙𝑒́𝑎𝑛𝑠 ࿐ᩴ @DearestMinette]

Henriette laughed and shocked her head.
"Not really, no."
